00:04Gracias.
00:32Yeah, 100%.
00:35Six minutes in and another mistake that we make, it takes the wind out of our sails.
00:42And then I think the second goal is hit from 25 yards in the top corner.
00:46And when you go two goals down so early and five goals down on aggregate, it's a really, really difficult
00:53evening.
00:54We wanted to obviously put up more of a fight than what we did.
00:57And credit to PSG, their possession play was really, really top in the game.
01:02And over the two legs, they deserve to go through.
01:09Yeah, it has to.
01:11That's my job.
01:12How I go about that is how we always go about it.
01:15We need to be resilient.
01:16We need to make sure we go to Everton with an organization, with a freshness and intensity in our team.
01:21Because we want to be in this competition next season.
01:24And if we perform how I know we can, we can get there without the individual mistakes that we're making
01:32at the moment.
01:38Yeah.
01:40Yeah.
01:46I think it's not, it's not just an ad, it's not an admission.
01:51The reality is a reality of where the group are.
01:55They've played over 100 games in 18 months.
01:58They've had no break in terms of the international games, the traveling that, say, is Yao Pedro or Enzo Fernandez
02:05and Moe Caicedo do to South America.
02:07It's not an excuse.
02:10This is a byproduct of success of the Club World Cup.
02:13And it's a great thing that the club achieved at the Club World Cup.
02:17But you're seeing with Rhys, you're seeing with players that if I don't manage their minutes, their likelihood of getting
02:25injured is increased very highly.
02:28So, I want us to make sure we're in this competition next season as a minimum.
02:33We're still fighting for an FA Cup.
02:34But I have to make maybe really difficult decisions that at the time probably don't look great, to be honest.
02:43You never want to take off your best players when you're five goals down in a tie.
02:48But I want to make the right decisions for the football club in a long term as well.
02:51Simon?
02:56In terms of three defeats, is it important it doesn't affect your confidence in terms of your methods of working?
03:03For sure.
03:04This is football.
03:06Excuse me.
03:07I lost my voice shouting.
03:08Not at the players after the game, but during the game.
03:11This is football.
03:14And moments can change the flow of things.
03:16And so, two and a quarter games ago, we were away in Paris or coming off the back of Aston
03:22Villa.
03:23A very good performance.
03:242-2 in the game.
03:26But we don't take care of the moments.
03:28We switch off.
03:29What I have to do is make sure that we get that back on track.
03:32And that comes from not making mistakes or errors.
03:35And that's something that me and my staff have already spoken about now.
03:39We'll speak about tomorrow.
03:40And make sure that we go into the Everton game in a really positive frame of mind.
03:43And just quickly, there's a quote that's just sort of emerged from ESPN in Argentina.
03:49I appreciate you may not have seen it.
03:51Enzo Fernandes asked about his future.
03:53And he's sort of saying, I don't know if I'll still be here next season.
03:57Is that a conversation you're going to have to have with him?
04:00Well, firstly, I haven't seen that.
04:02It's hard for me to speak on speculation after a game.
04:06And I need to focus right now on the most important things,
04:10which is making sure we get a result against Everton on Saturday.
04:12Hi, Liam.
04:15It's been three years since Chelsea were last at this stage of the Champions League in the round of 16.
04:20No.
04:21No worries at all.
04:25It's a fantastic competition.
04:27It's a competition that this club deserves to be in and deserves to compete in.
04:31And my job, along with the club and the players,
04:33is to make sure we're there every year competing for trophies.
04:36And this is the level that Chelsea, as you said, need to be at.
04:41Over last week's game and this game, you must have learned a lot about the players,
04:45perhaps who can handle it, who can't.
04:47What exactly are your main takeaways?
04:50No, I'm learning all the time.
04:52My job is to assess the group all of the time.
04:55What I'm learning is that you have to have players that, in every moment,
04:58you can rely on to make correct decisions defensively and not switch off.
05:03But also, they were clinical in both games.
05:07Clinical shots from outside the box.
05:10That's the level.
05:11And we need to make sure we get them.
05:19But then, as the match went on, there was chanting for Roman Abramovich.
05:23There was the ring of your substitutions that you just explained.
05:26Is there any concern about moving forward,
05:30about the relationship with the fans and the players and the squad?
05:33No, I think it's two-way.
05:35This is a fantastic football club where the fans want success instantly,
05:39and that's rightfully so for the sides of the club.
05:41So, I have to say, I understand, because of the aggregate scoreline in the time,
05:47why fans are frustrated.
05:49They want us to win.
05:51So, I completely get it, and I understood that before I came in.
05:54I also want to make them happy and give them the nights they deserve,
05:59not just me, but us as a group, as a team.
06:01And that was a really, really difficult one to take
06:04because of the manner in which we went out this evening.
06:06There will be three more, Don, Peter, and Gary.
06:11Just here, please.
06:13Don, go on.
06:35No, I think football is about flow and momentum.
06:41And if you give the opposition flow and momentum about them having to work so hard,
06:46they get more confident.
06:47So, if I look back, I've already watched some of the game back.
06:52First six minutes, we're in the game, we set play, we're in the half of the pitch,
06:55and then they score.
06:56I know that Mamadou's a great young player.
07:01These are things that you have to write, but you have to learn from.
07:05We make a mistake.
07:06It's an individual error.
07:07There's nothing tactical.
07:08And Kravitz-Gellier, because he's a top player, he scores,
07:10gives them confidence, gives them a cushion.
07:13And Marcola hits one from 25 yards into the top corner.
07:16I don't remember having him in a shot either side of that.
07:19So, we have to learn at the top, top level to be clinical
07:22and to make sure we keep the back door shut.
07:25We've done neither over the two legs, and that's why we're out of the competition.
07:29Liam, can I ask you about Mamadou and the decision to select him on that side of the pitch?
07:34Because I'm not sure he's played there before.
07:35And then also, because it's obviously a difficult night for him,
07:37just obviously with the mistake, but also we've learned tonight
07:40that the AFCON result has been overturned.
07:43Sorry, the AFCON result.
07:45It's been that Kaff have announced that they've overturned the result,
07:48the final of AFCON.
07:50All right.
07:51Sorry, man.
07:52Is that something you'll have to speak to him about?
07:56Yeah, I've been so focused on this, I didn't know that.
08:00Mamadou has played in that position for me.
08:02Mamadou's been outstanding in games against PSG,
08:05and I felt his experience, his feel of the players would help him.
08:09And when you're a player, then you make a mistake that early,
08:12it can become a really difficult night for you.
08:14Bearing in mind, Malo Gusto was down to start the game and pulled out.
08:19He was not pulled out.
08:20He's very ill.
08:21We gave him as much time to recover.
08:23We missed Reece, who's out.
08:26Yeah, these are decisions that you want to make,
08:28and you want to get correct.
08:30And in that moment, Mamadou's made a mistake,
08:32which has made it a difficult night,
08:35because it gave PSG the confidence.
08:37Hi, Liam.
08:40Look, Trevor looked very distressed as he was stretching off.
08:44Can you tell us the latest on him?
08:46Yeah, I think he was really worried.
08:47I've just checked with the medical team.
08:49We'll obviously scan and assess him tomorrow.
08:51We are hoping and praying that it's not as bad as we first feared.
08:54And with Reece, is there an update?
08:56Not yet.
08:57I'm waiting for the full results of his scan,
09:00and hopefully he's back sooner rather than later.
09:02Thanks.
09:02Thanks, guys.
09:03Good night.
